Pros

You have lots of great coworkers. The pay is nice. You get to learn a lot. Amazon is a good company to work for. You get to meet a lot of great, intelligent people. While the job is stressful, it's worth it.

Cons

Sometimes long, unpredictable hours. Sometimes hard to balance family/friends with work. Prioritizing what is most important to me. Coworkers can be stubborn at times, but only because everyone is intelligent and thinks in different ways.
